The most softly serene expression in Mariella Burani's beloved 2001 Bouquet de Roses collection — Bouquet de Roses Relaxante Eau Parfumée is a beautifully composed floral fragrance designed around the idea of calm, effortless femininity. Launched as a limited edition alongside Régénérante, Sensuelle, and Rafraîchissante, each bottle in the collection representing a different emotional dimension of the rose, Relaxante — meaning relaxing or soothing — was conceived as the most tranquil and enveloping of the four: a soft, aromatic floral that wraps the wearer in a sense of quiet wellbeing from the first spray. Now discontinued and growing increasingly difficult to find in the full 100ml format, it holds a special place in the hearts of Mariella Burani devotees who discovered it during its brief time on counter.
Relaxante opens with a lively, zesty burst of bergamot and lavender — fresh, aromatic, and immediately invigorating, with the lavender lending a classically elegant, slightly herbal edge that distinguishes it instantly from a conventional floral opening. Despite its name, the opening is anything but sleepy — bright and bracing, it clears the senses and draws you in. The heart unfolds into a soft, feminine bouquet of freesia, rose, violet, and magnolia — delicate and beautifully balanced, the violet adding a gently powdery depth while the freesia and magnolia keep the composition airy and light. The fragrance then settles into a warm, creamy base of amber, sandalwood, and musk — smooth, softly sensual, and wonderfully skin-close, the dry-down delivering on the Relaxante name with a genuinely comforting, enveloping warmth that lingers gently for hours.

Relaxante is the kind of fragrance that earns devoted loyalty quietly — not through bold projection or dramatic sillage, but through the genuine pleasure of wearing something beautifully composed and effortlessly feminine. Its arc from bright lavender-citrus freshness through soft powdery florals to a creamy amber-sandalwood dry-down is seamless, natural, and deeply wearable across all seasons and occasions. Like all entries in the Bouquet de Roses collection, it wears intimately and close to the skin — a personal fragrance experience designed to be discovered, not announced. The distinctive blue presentation bottle is as charming as the fragrance within, making this a particularly desirable piece for collectors assembling the full Bouquet de Roses set.
